Protection and Growth Strategies for CPG Brands in the Age of eCommerce

September 18, 2020 | 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EST

Summary

Online marketplaces have dramatically disrupted the way people shop, changing traditional retail patterns and creating a new competitive landscape. Many brands are struggling to control their image, the sale and quality of their products in this digital age. This lack of control is resulting in channel conflict with brick-and-mortar channel partners, brand equity erosion, adverse consumer experience, negative reviews and lost sales.

 A key to gaining control of online sales is understanding the new operating environment and the pitfalls of remaining idle. In this virtual discussion, Mark Leonard, General Counsel for Jelly Belly Candy Company, and Daren Garcia, partner at Vorys eControl, share business and legal strategies critical to controlling online marketplace sales to protect the consumer experience, preserve brand equity and improve both revenue and profit.

There is no cost to join. There are no Sales Pitches.

This event is co-hosted by BWG Connect and Vorys eControl.
